Flow Limiting Valves on LP Gas Tanks Check all connections for LP Gas Leaks
Your LP gas tank Is equipped with a flow limiting valve
that will restrict the flow of gas due to a sudden change
In pressure. This can often activate without your
knowledge. You will notice among other things that
your grill does not get as hot as It should, will take
longer to heat up, or you may not be able to light all
burners. If you notice any of the above, then you
should reset the valve and clear your gas line.
To do this
1. Ensure the LP gas tank valve Is OFF.
2. Disconnect the regulator from the LP gas tank.
3. Open all burner control knobs Including the side
burner to Hi at the same time.
4. Close all burner control knobs to OFF.
5. Let the LP gas tank stand for at least 10
minutes.
6. Reconnect the regulator assembly to the LP gas
tank.
7. Slowly, meaning about 1/4 turn at a time, turn
on the LP gas valve.
8. Follow the burner lighting procedures to light
the burner farthest away from the gas source.
9. The flow limiting valve should now be reset.
This flow limiting valve is triggered by sudden changes
in pressure. This can be caused by a leak, faulty
connection of the regulator to the LP gas tank, turning
on the LP gas tank valve too quickly, or turning the
burners off by turning the LP gas tank valve off before
turning the burner control knobs to off. Note: always
turn off your burners using the burner control knobs
first before turning the LP gas tank valve off.
Transportation and Storage
1. Place a dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install
the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet
that is provided with the cylinder of propane
valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result
In leakage.
2. Always transport your cylinder in an upright
position.
3. Do not smoke when transporting your cylinder.
Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to
first use, at the beginning of each season
or every time your LP Gas tank Is changed
you must check for gas leaks. Follow
these three steps:
Make a soap solution by mixing one part
liquid detergent and one part water
Turn the burner control knobs to the OFF position.
Then turn the gas ON at the source.
Apply the soap solution to all gas connections
indicated by the arrows. See diagram. If
bubbles appear In the soap solution the
connections are not properly sealed. Check
each fitting and tighten or repair as
necessary.
Gas Valve Manifold
If you have a gas leak that cannot be repaired
by tightening, turn off the gas at the
source, disconnect fuel line from your grill
and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME® or your
gas supplier for repair assistance.
